This probably cements Kirby as Cutest Character of 2022 (even I voted for Pokemon in the respective thread)

‘4D’ Kirby gummy sweets celebrate video game star’s anniversary

TOKYO - Kirby is a beloved figure in Japan, inspiring three Kirby-themed cafes, Kirby-themed traditional sweets, and countless releases of Kirby-themed merchandise. It's easy to why... what's not to love about this iconic video game character?
Especially his rotund figure and cute pink color are perfect characteristics to translate into bright and cute confectionery, which is probably why for his 30th anniversary celebration, an adorable new type of candy has been made in his image.

The candy is called a "4D Gummy," but at first glance it just seems to be 3D. That's because the fourth D stands for delicious, and refers to the great taste of the gummies.

Those are adorable but I would be afraid to eat them because one of them might become sentient inside my stomach and eat me alive from the inside out.

You never can tell with Kirby.

"The fourth D is for delicious" — okay but what does the first three D's stand for?

Yep, literally just added to my cart, $26 shipping.

If any Japan members want to do a snack exchange hit me up for those rates, I'd rather do another Era member a solid.

That shipping is nuts. I guess it would be better to order a ton of different stuff and not just Kirby gummies.
I should just ask my family in Japan to send me some of these.

For lovers

I was having that debate internally but my issue is I don't want to spent $150 on Japanese snacks I might not enjoy. They have free shipping at $199.

I deal with shipping costs for my job and I know shipping has gotten expensive but still, JFC.
